Sounds to me like that Wal-Mart may have been jerking his chain...who knows.

Thanks guys. These are plastic hull Federal shells...$3.99 a box with the TN tax stickers still on them. I didn't think there would be issues, but wanted to check.

Googled it and everything I find says no change...I'll talk to him and see if I can get some details on why.

Awesome...congrats!

Thought this was cool. Might have to give this a try. http://www.diyprojectsworld.com/how-to-make-your-own-hunting-bow-out-of-a-bicycle-wheel.html

I quit reading this thread for a day and it definitely went sideways... I think most of us as hunters are inherently more prepared (maybe not stockpiling preppers, but prepared) than the average citizen. just in skills, gear, and the fact that we have guns and ammo. I keep thinking about more things I could do to be prepared, but I never do them. It's a very scary thought what could happen.

My buddy got back this week. 2 does in their camp of 3 or 4 hunters. Very windy and goats had definitely been hunted and shot at before. Not sure what unit.

Scott Wildcat...no specific reason other than it's the first one I tried and I liked it. No reason to change.

Congrats! Man that is really cool, especially the other guys getting video of the bull and sharing with you.

Lots of good suggestions and comments here...I think Rossislider's is probably the most important one though. If you've already set the expectation (And it sounds like you have by saying that he knows if he doesn't bring them up he's not hunting) then it's important to stick to it. It will be tough to enforce, but well worth it in the long run. Scooter (I almost missed that it was you without your Buckmark avatar! ) makes a good point too...if it's truly an issue of difficulty learning then taking away hunting may not help at all. If it's just due to not getting the work done, that's a different story. Good luck...make your decision (whatever it is) and stick to it. Consistency is critical.

What's it score? Really nice work...the most I get out of being on hold or a conference call for that long is usually catching up on the forum.

Nice slideshow and nice bull! Way to get it done...congrats!

Strong work trying to get it back to its owner.

My kid might have that tag next year...just depends on those pics!

Search the threads on here too. There have been some decent discussions about that unit with some good general starting areas. Can't search just 35a due to character minimum so scroll down through the rifle hunting section. You'll find it.

what in the heck am i going to do with a coyot? that cant be good meat at all!!! You'll be out there hunting and having a good time outdoors, becoming a better hunter, and helping out the deer and other game populations by eliminating a predator or two...make sure you get a lion tag too. I buy one every January with my deer tag...

Nope...not exactly what was said. Elk and deer are not same. If you kill a deer in Jan, then you can't draw a deer tag in the Fall and kill another deer in the Fall...or in the December OTC archery season. Or if you already drew a Fall deer tag, and then kill a deer during the archery season in August...your deer tag you drew becomes void. It can be a bit confusing, especially coming from another state where the limits are usually by season and not by year. I moved to AZ from TN and took me a while to fully undertand it too. Easiest way to think of it is one deer, whitetail or mulie, bucks only, per year...period.

Haven't seen that specific one before, but have seen pics of piebald deer over the years. One of my friends from high school killed one in TN a year or two ago. Anyone on here ever seen or heard of a piebald coues? Pretty cool...thanks for sharing.

That's a pretty awesome list right there...very handy.

A friend asked me about this and I couldn't find much recent information on Google. Are there any local summer biathlons (cross-country running and shooting)? And of course here they could be year-round and not necessarily "summer"... I found some old threads on a shooting forum that sounded like there may have been at least one in the Phoenix Area in the past. Everything else seemed to be in other states. Thanks!

Agree...I read it as buying the new license at the current rate. After Jan 1, same license at the new 2014 rate. At least that will be my excuse next year for not having an Urban license.

Nice bull and awesome job getting it done solo! YouTube says the video is private...

Nice video...especially nice seeing your boy out there with you. Awesome memories I'm sure.

I've got a fever and there's only one cure...more cowbell baby! My kid has the same fever...he's been talking about a cowbell for months. If you were closer to Tucson I might take you up on that...local shop has a couple used cowbells cheap enough it wouldn't be worth the drive. I know what you mean on the pedal...it will probably help you with the sale on CL as well as keeping the cymbals with it too. I knew it was a stretch but thought I'd ask.
